Good to see this weeks Rookie of the Round being Matthew Welsh. Has struggled with injury in the past but is now playing some great footy.

Is interesting to note one of the criteria stating the player must have played less than 15 games prior to the season. Chief would have played more than that in his two years of under 18s i would have thought.

yeah i played with cornish at wallan n he could only manage 2 senior games and 1/2 a reserve game last yr whilst suffering from op and rarely could get on the track. also i noticed macedon wear geelong jumpers that i saw in the free press a couple of wks ago, when did they change from the red and blue and just wondering how come?

Macedon folded a few years ago, Macedon FC was formed 12 months or 2 years later and adopted the Geelong colours. Not sure of exact time frames. I think, and someone may correct me on this, but Macedon FC had to ensure no ties to the original Macedon due to some outstanding debts that they didn't want to be associated with. HFF or Mongrel probably know more.

i beleive that the geelong colours were macedons original colours.and when the club found its feet and resumed in the league it was decided then that the club would go back to their first colours.perhaps halfull could give us more of an insight

Roos creep closer to finals

good romsey write up pickles, the only sub i would make is having, jake wilson starting on the wing, pretty good player especially over the last 5 weeks. probably will replace richmond if benny is playing at cannons in september.

hows the burra looking this week line up-wise, have they got most of their gun players back and fit? i think they're a show against the hawks if they're all playing.

Don't tell me my own opinion. Cornish struggled to walk after the match. Diggers played solid, but not outstanding football. It was prick of a game with far too many turnovers for two sides wanting to play finals. I know there was pressure but some of the skill errors were very basic. Kicks that you would expect Under 14s to make just didn't hit targets. Then you see classy blokes like Sims and Robertson who make the game look easy. If anyone wants to take Diggers on I'll be extra generous and offer 5-1. No chance if they play the same as they did on Saturday and Woodend-Hesket play similar to the way they did against Lancefield.

Ive been a supporter of Kilmore for a few yrs, robbo can play but for every great thing he does such as taking a screamer, dodging 4 or 5 blokes its his next thing that hurts his team. He doesnt like to handball and his kicking is ordinary at best. On saturday Sims showed how classy he is because he can deliver the ball under pressure and off balance to the leading fowards. i respect how much work robbo does.
He could be a much more damaging players to oppositions if he used a handball here or there. Im not at all trying to stir the pot imo his kicking is ordinary n im sure alot of you on here will agree. Cornish best foward in comp i and many others would love to see him fully fit. Very disheartening to see Adam Goodge go down with at ankle injury he is a great club player. Best of luck to the boys, i put my two bits in so dont bite me head off. WOOTH

Original colours were red and blue hoops. Then went to Geelong colours. Changed to Port colours when in 1st div 77. Changed back to this strip when club reformed. I am not sure of the dates these changes occured but am glad we are back to the present colours. Is rumoured there were a couple of variations off the blue and red hoops and blue and white stripes in the early early days.

every player has their faults.and in robbos case he has less of them than 99 percent of the other players in the rdfl
 
There are few players in this comp that can drill a ball 55 metres and hit someone on the chest WOOTW. Think you are being harsh on Robbo. Probably the best player in this league. Can play forward, back, on-ball etc. Doesn't have as much class as Sims, but who does in the RDFL? Is very much a working class player with an extremely great football gift of talent.

From what I saw on Saturday, Diggers Rest could ill afford to lose Jose.

Kilmore can not afford to lose Cornish, Robbo or Linton Kemp. Kemp is a gun and underrated.
 
Jose/Sims would be the worst injury to happen to Diggers, whilst Robbo or Cornish would be the worst for Kilmore! Goudge is a bad loss, but some good young talented players in their two's could cover him to some extent!

getting there mate. hopefully this week. we'll test her out fully on thursday night.

on moedt - he is beyonce knowles (irreplaceable). he brings some very important tangibles to the team that few are capable of.

the ability to wear tips in his hair while wearing green and white horizontal stripes is one.

the ability to get drunk on raspberry cordial shots in lemonade (his own personal 'jaeger bomb' is amazing.

he is just very underrated all round.
